About

Orhan Kanbak is a pioneering anesthesiologist whose work has been instrumental in shaping the perioperative management of robotic urological surgeries. His research centers on the unique anesthetic challenges posed by robotic procedures, particularly robotic cystectomy and prostatectomy. Kanbak’s major contributions include a prospective study (2013, 21 citations) that systematically documented the respiratory and hemodynamic hurdles—such as deep Trendelenburg positioning and prolonged operating times—encountered during robotic cystectomy, providing a critical safety framework for anesthesiologists. His subsequent work (2013, 10 citations; 2014, 7 citations) further explored these drawbacks, including limited intravenous access and surgical duration, offering practical insights that have guided clinical protocols. With over 38 citations across his most-cited papers, Kanbak’s impact is evident in how his findings have become foundational references for anesthesiologists navigating the complexities of robotic urology. His research not only highlights the distinct physiological demands of these surgeries but also underscores the need for tailored anesthetic strategies, making him a key figure in advancing patient safety and surgical outcomes in the rapidly evolving field of robotic-assisted urology.
